‘We’ve struggled for goals all season’
Other comments: ‘We’ve struggled for goals all season, either a lot of players are massively under performing or they’ll aren’t playing for the manager – the more this goes on it looks like its the latter. This has gone on long enough.’…
‘Central defence missing don’t help but same old excuses.’…

‘Poor manager not good enough in the big games! We dominated city when Fran was there. We are a backward team now with you as manager. Thanks but if you can’t beat the big teams in Scotland it’s time to go!’…
‘I don’t know what she thinks she saw tonight because that performance was brutally bad (it was actually much better than the previous two games – ED). From team selection to tactics to subs it was all bad. One good moment (the goal) doesn’t make a decent performance. Times up Elena, you gave it a shot it just never worked out.’…
‘The Rangers and City invest much more than Celtic in the women’s team’
‘The Rangers and City invest much more than Celtic in the women’s team. What a surprise!’
Those are some of the comments in response to Elena Sadiku’s post match interview. Before that Celtic FC Women posted on X the final score (see below) and we’ll look at some of the comments to that too…

“Clear out required, manager & coaching team need replaced, not 1 player has improved, team wise we’ve regressed, absolutely shambolic recruitment with terrible signings. A coach who thinks she’s better than she is.”
“I don’t expect Celtic to win every game, but I do expect them to play football’
“I don’t expect Celtic to win every game, but I do expect them to play football. We’ve not played any decent football since the opening game at Parkhead. Players are afraid of the ball and every one of them has regressed under Eleana. Root and branch clear out needed.”
“Usual 20 decent minutes in the second half every match. Can’t believe Hayes left and hasn’t kicked a ball for Brighton. We’ve just left the gap in defence that she filled.”

Kerrydale Street have an ongoing thread for Celtic FC Women games. Here’s some of the post-match reaction to Friday night’s defeat to Glasgow City.
The league is pretty much gone
“I thought City deserved the win. Celtic Women not offering a lot of threat in the final third especially in the first half. The league is pretty much gone. They might even be struggling to finish in the top 4 now if recent form continues. I doubt if Elena will be there next season.”
“Surely the manager has to go? She’s not close to being good enough. A lot of players also need binned and replaced with some power, pace and skill for the new season. They seem to have nothing to offer.”

‘Third defeat in a row. One win in the last six games’
“Third defeat in a row. One win in the last six games. And the next game is (the)Rangers away who we’ve beat once in the last 11 matches against them. Good players allowed to leave and the replacements not up to it.
If I asked the bookies they’d be saying a (the)Rangers treble is a high possibility. Especially after the Hibs 5-0 meltdown in the League Cup Final. Celtic PLC need to decide what exactly they want from the Women’s team. One League in nearly 20 years. If it’s just a case of paying lip service, which it looks like at the moment, then so be it. Not much the 300/400 regulars can do about it. You’d be laughed out of Celtic Park bringing the matter up at a Shareholders AGM. Here’s to Broadwood on April 13th when we score a barrowload…”
‘Well done PLC’
“Only saw the first half last night and the team is virtually unrecognisable from the team of last season. Clueless up front and weak as water at the back. It reeks of poor leadership. Either take it seriously and get some decent talent in or admit it’s lip service and we move on. Both our women and our youth set ups are a right laugh. Well done PLC.”

“Scored 40 less goals than theRangers at this point and conceded more goals than any team in the top 5. It’s easy to see where the issues are.”
“Concerning direction of travel from our board but not entirely surprising.”

IMO if Brian Graham was coaching this team then we would be challenging for the title , a good coach maximises strength and minimises weaknesses ,imo this coach does the opposite , shes a legend in her own head , sad but true , Hail hail .
They are not the team they started off this season as, they were confident and playing harassing football attacking the length of the pitch. Since the Champions league campaign pitered out they haven’t been the same not sure it’s a confidence thing or what but they have been getting mugged for the ball time after time because they seem to be afraid of putting too many bodies up the field.
